19 Allergy-Friendly Mochi

Cool off with our hottest product guide of the summer: our Top Rated Mochi Guide! See the 19 most allergy-friendly mochi, including 2 that are top 9 free! We’re sweet on safe mochi and all the fun flavors—ube, matcha, mango, strawberry, and more. This guide was published on 7/25/2023. To learn more about our product guide process, see our Letter From Our Founder.

Our criteria for being included in the guide was that each mochi had to be free of at least 1 of the top 9 allergens and either not have a warning label or, if it had a warning label, the warning label needed to not include at least 1 of the allergens the product’s ingredients were free of. In other words, there was at least 1 allergy the product was free of that there was not a warning for.

The End of Food Allergy with Dr. Kari Nadeau

The End of Food Allergy is a landmark book on preventing, diagnosing, and reversing food allergies with key findings from a premier team of trained experts.

The trailblazing research of Dr. Kari Nadeau at Stanford University reveals that food allergy can be a treatable condition, because the immune system can be retrained. Food allergies can be disrupted, slowed, and stopped. The key is a strategy called immunotherapy (IT)–the controlled, gradual reintroduction of an allergen into the body. With innovations that include state-of-the-art therapies targeting specific components of the immune system, Dr. Nadeau and her team have increased the speed and effectiveness of this treatment to a matter of months.

Food allergy families will find fascinating information on the causes of food allergies, the science behind different types of food allergy testing and learn details on immunotherapy. The End of Food Allergy is a must-read for anyone interested in the science behind food allergies and the latest research that is changing the future of allergies.

 

Hidden Allergens in Restaurants

You know that moment when you ask a server about a menu item to see if it is safe and find out it contains one of your allergens? You move on to another item to order and likely forget about that first dish. There is a whole world of dishes passed over due to a hidden allergen and we’re on a mission to capture them and help to hopefully spare the next person who might forget to mention, have a server who doesn’t know, etc. From its early days, the Spokin app has had a Hidden Allergen feature that allows you to share items like a bread that contains walnuts or a chimichurri sauce that contains pistachios, to help keep the food allergy community safe. Today we are publishing the first-of-its-kind guide, featuring over 400 Spokin app-reported hidden allergens in restaurants covering 41 states and 19 countries. If you find one, please share and before you dine out, please check the Spokin app!
